Process
The flower was made using a smocking machine called a Princess Pleater to create the suggestion of flower petals in 3D, while the leaves and stem of the flower are created using an ‘Irish’, a type of freehand embroidery machine.
Process
Multidisciplinary artist Lora Avedian depicts elements of narrative through textile and craft processes, employing traditional embroidery and embellishment techniques to craft modern designs. Following a successful career in set design and embroidery, Lora was awarded a Masters in Mixed Media Textiles from the Royal College of Art in 2017. She favours slow processes, focusing on short run and bespoke projects, and prefers to use antique and one-off materials such as cords, braids and ribbons when creating her pieces.
